CABINET FoR UMBRELLAS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 455,604, dated July 7,1891. Application tiled November 11, 1890. Serial No. 371,066. Y. (Nomodel.) l

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB S. BAHR, a citi-` preventing displacement ofthe same, as will be hereinafter set forth.Y

Figure l represents a perspective view of an umbrella-case embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section of a portion thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondi'ng parts in the twofigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a case for holding umbrellas,parasols, canes,

&c.,the saine having transparent sides B, and

adoor C, the latter when closed being secured slides retain theirplaces, and each may be drawn out as desired. In the slides are soeketsor openings E for receiving 'theends of umbrellas, parasols, canes,rbc., so as to support the same, as illustrated in'Figfl, it being seenthat said articles may be readily displayed and viewed through'the case,and When the door is opened the same is accessible, and they may beremoved by pulling out the proper slide, as exhibited in Fig. 1.`

Hinged to the floor of the case below the door C is a block F, which isadapted to close against the adjacent ends of the slides D, and thusconceal said ends. lVhen the door is shut it is above said block, (seeFig. 2,) so that the latter is prevented from being moved unless thedoor is opened; but it is evident that the block may be connected Withthe door so to open and close Withthe same; but the hinged form of theblock is` preferred, for

when it is swung back from the slides it may constitute a continuationof the floor of the case, and thus support the slide or slides whendraivnout, as illustrated in Fig. l.

For the convenience of operating the slides, the same are provided withfinger pieces or pulls G. IIaving thus described my invention, what Idesire to claim as new,l and secure by Letters Patent, .is

l. A ease having a slide movable on the iioor thereof and provided withsockets or openings, stationary pieces orstrips arranged on each side ofand forming guides for`said slide, and an adjustable block adapted to'bemovedagai'nst the end of said slide to prevent the sani'e'beingWithdrawn,substantially as described.

g 2. A case having slides therein, a door on the frame of said case,adapted to open and close from and toward the ends of said slides,

and a hinged piece at the base of said doorA closing the ends of theslides andlocking the slides, substantially as described.

3. A casehaving longitudinal slides, provdedWith side guides and openings or sockets in top thereof, vstationary intervening .piecesbetvveensaid slides, and a hinged end piecefor covering the ends of said slides,all combined substantially as described.

4. vIn a'eabinet, substantially as described, a case having bottomprovided With tongues and openings or sockets, and interveningstationary pieces alternately arranged between said slides and formedwith grooves to receive said tongues,said parts being combined` andoperating as stated.
